I don't hold it against anyone for wanting to be on a good team either. I'm just not of the opinion that an incoming rookie who literally has done nothing in the NFL should be able to... or display the balls to say I'm not playing for a particular team. My opinion is stfu rookie until you prove yourself at the highest level. Once you do that you hold some cards. Like I said... JMO.

In Eli's case it probably worked out for us... but then again there's no telling if he'd have been a 2 time champion with San Diego just because he's done that in NY. Rivers isn't exactly a slouch and they haven't won with him so who knows.

I'm guess I'm old school in my thinking that you need to prove yourself worthy before you start making demands. I know that's not the world we live in though.
